Hopefully, playing JMU will bring some more of the locals out, more than the Rider game at least. I certainly hope so, since it very well could be the last home game of the year. Beating them first in basketball and then in football in the same year would be sweet

This has been pleasant and professional.

I've made a huge mistake.

How good is JMU? Granted they are a CAA team, so they should have their way with us.

I see some external website selling tickets. Can you still buy them at the ticket office locally?

In addition to the local alums and JMU students and other fans from Harrisonburg who will make the trip, we have more time to promote this game with our students and the Lynchburg community. Tuesday's game was less than 48 hours after it was announced. I expect at least double the attendance, possibly over 4000.

The winner of this game plays the winner of the ODU/Citadel/Belmont game on Wednesday.

Got my answer: Tickets are being sold locally through Flames ticket office. Premium seats are the same as GA.

Mike Schickman is the voice of JMU. Ive heard him for a few years but you think you could shed some light on him JMUDukes?

haha, we all love Schick's enthusiasm, but he has a tendency to jump the gun in football and basketball.

"And Rodney throws it and it's caught for a touch-INCOMPLETE!"

he also tends to get excited when the other team does something? idk i mean he loves JMU athletics, but he's a little quirky.

Nothing like 15 players on the floor in a good ol game of cut-throat basketball!

At ODU / Citadel / Belmont?

That'd be great -- it'd make up for the ODU game I missed earlier this year (provided I can stay healthy for a week, which I was unable to do last time... 28 bucks in tickets down the drain)

Wow, what's it like to have a radio play-by-play guy that's enthusiastic and ahead of every play? That must be pretty nice.

George Mason is better than JMU and we beat George Mason.

If Belmont beats ODU (they'll pound Citadel), it would make sense for Belmont to stay in the area to play at LU or JMU in the next round, instead of both teams hauling butt back to Nashville and play within a day.

Yeah, but conference doesnt mean a team is really good. We beat an ACC team, but its not like we beat Duke or UNC
